Coming right out of left field, Ian Rapoport is reporting that RB Aaron Jones, who was expected to move on this coming season due to his value seeming to exceed the Packers’ cap limits, will remain a Packer for the next four years. This comes after the Packers opted not to place the franchise tag on him.

The deal includes a $13 million sign on bonus. This moves indicates that the Packers could be keeping most of their 2020 offense intact to make another go in 2021.
